Two types of diets with low and normal protein levels were fed to genetically improved farmed tilapia. The results suggest that insufficient dietary proteins are likely to restrict growth and weaken disease resistance. The pellet feed diets with low protein level strongly affected the gut microbial composition and significantly decreased intestinal ...

A Disease Resembling Inclusion Body Disease of Boid Snakes in Captive Palm Vipers ( Bothriechis Marchi ) [PDF]
Between April 1998 and June 1999, 8 palm vipers ( Bothriechis marchi) were diagnosed with a disease similar to inclusion body disease (IBD) of boids. Six palm vipers were captive bred, and 2 were wild caught. All of the vipers were adults at the time of death. Three palm vipers were found dead with no premonitory clinical signs, and 5 had anorexia plus

Cytoplasmic Inclusions in Corn Snakes, Elaphe guttata, Resembling Inclusion Body Disease of Boid Snakes [PDF]
ABSTRACT Three neonatal, captive-bred com snakes, Elaphe guttata, from a clutch of nine eggs were found dead after a short period of anorexia and opisthotonus. Histological examination of tissue samples revealed eosinophilic intracytoplasmic inclusions in hepatocytes and brain endothelial cells.

Color variation provides the opportunity to investigate the genetic basis of evolution and selection. Reptiles are less studied than mammals. Comparative genomics approaches allow for knowledge gained in one species to be leveraged for use in another species. We describe a comparative vertebrate analysis of conserved regulatory modules in pythons aimed

A Comprehensive Survey on Particle Swarm Optimization Algorithm and Its Applications
Particle swarm optimization (PSO) is a heuristic global optimization method, proposed originally by Kennedy and Eberhart in 1995. It is now one of the most commonly used optimization techniques. This survey presented a comprehensive investigation of PSO.

Legal Methodology and Complexity: A Comment on Allen
Abstract This article is a response to Ronald J. Allen's “Reflections on Complexity, Evidence, and Law.” I begin by analyzing three key concepts that Allen employs in his argument: reductionism, emergence, and complexity. On the basis of this analysis, I question Allen's criticism of the reductionist approach that, according to him, legal scholarship ...

Multi‐Agent Imitation Behavior Based on Information Interaction
As a common social phenomenon, group imitation behavior holds significant research value in the fields of biological group collaboration and artificial swarm intelligence. This paper constructs a behavior imitation model integrating information dissemination mechanisms based on the theory of multiagent systems.
